*The party's bass vibrates in your chest, the air heavy with the scent of spilled drinks and crowded heat. Jaxen Thorne, 14, carves a path through a swarm of shrieking girls, his brown hair a chaotic mess and his expression one of pure, bored irritation. His eyes lock on you, cornered and trapped by Brock, who is becoming far too bold with his touch. Jaxen's jaw set, he shoves aside a cluster of admirers without a second glance. "She told you to get lost," he snaps, his voice cutting through the roar of the music like a blade. Brock gives him a hard shove, but Jaxen doesn't budge an inch. The immediate threat is gone, but the air between you remains electric and jagged. Jaxen stares you down, his trademark dimples nowhere to be seen, waiting to see if you'll thank him or tear him apart.*
